How rrls. wolfe nIo,ea rwo Tree..


There are two trees in the grounds at
Vineland which were brought from the
country seat of Miss Wolfe's fathers COM
ing up on the Hudson.
''Can it be doney'' she asked of the land
scape gardener who had undertaken TO
make her domains what they ought to be
in the matter of trees and shrubs. She
referred to the transplanting.
The landscape gardener was astonished.
''Pray, madam, said he, hesitatingly,
shave you considered the enormous eX-
pense of carrying out such whim? 1t
would cost at least''-
His questioner broke in impatiently:
''That has nothing to do with it, she
said. Il did not ask you what it would
cost, but if it could be done. / repeat, is
it possibley"
"Yes, answered the landscape maker,
''it is possible.
''Do it then," ordered the lady, ''and
let the expense he what it may. | want
those trees in Newport"
And the trees came 10 Newport. They
were taken up carefully. laid upon canal
boats, carried down the Hudson, and
along the sound, making the entire jour
ney by water. What must have been the
astonishment of the sailors who saw the
remarkable spectacle of what looked like
forest moving ON the face of the deep,
Dame Gossip saith not. 1t was only q
modern instance of Birnam wood and Dun
shame. But the operation was success
full. The much travelled trees are flour
ishing with great vigor in Rhode Island
soil, and never seemed bit the worse for
their long and remarkable journey, which
cost about 81 1,500.-Newport Letter in the
Boston Herald.

SUMMER HEALTH NOTES.
SUMNER DRINKS.

Much of the advice given by papers, at
this season, as to what we should drink,
is bad advice, ,ssome. indeed is dangerous.

When the nose threatens to bleed ex-

putting 'he feet in hot water, or by app y

The very simple remedy of common
salt has cured many cases of fever and

a teaspoonfull deposited inside each

The Fear Of the Dead I'm China.

The great oycrruling superstitiobs in
China are, however, the fear of the dead
and the belief in Feng Shut. The latter
word means literally "wind and water
aud seems to typify both the good and
baneful influences Of physical phenomena.
1t is the existence of these t71o supersti-
tions which really forms the barrier to
progress IN China, because they interfere
with the reception of foreign ideas and the
development of industrial projects in
mining railway making, etc. Feng Shut
is defined, says the Roman Catholic bishop
of Ningpo, as "the path of the Great Dra-
gon, who rushes through the air just
above the houses, spouting blessings in
showers from his nostrils. lie flies
straight forward, unless by evil chance he
should strike against some high building,
in which case he turns aside at an angle,
and so the houses beyond lose their share
of his blessing. Hence the jealous care of
the Chinese house builders lest any one
should build house higher than his
neighbor, and the singular uniformity Of
domestic architecture"
The fear of the dead leads to the most
slavish form Of ancestor worship, and the
three first weeks of April are specially de
voted to the service OF the shades. At
that time every one visits the graves of
his relations with offerings, carried on
trays or in baskets. The cost of these an
nual services and offerings to the dead is
stated by Mrs. Cumming to he
not less than e32 600, 900, all to pro-
pitiate the spirits of those whose graves
cover the country, and who are believed
TO be powerful for evil if neglected. The
dead are even honored by the bestowal of
new titles if there is special reason for dis
tinguishing them.-All the Year Round.

Another Railroad.

T. B. Olods, part owner Of the Golconda
mine of the Red Bluff mining district, Of
which so much has lately been said and SO
many attempts made to purchase, arrived
in Bozeman on Sunday, en-route to his old
home at Red Bluff. after having spent
several weeks in Helena in company with
his partner r. o. Hickman. president of
the council. Mr.. Olds is the bearer of
glad tidings to the miners at Red Bluff, in
asmuch as he conveys the intelligence that
a railroad is to be built from the vicinity
of Three Forks to Red Bluff, work to be
gin April 1st, and tho road to be complet-
ed by early fall. Ex-Governor Hauser is
to grade the road and the Northern Pacific
company to place the rolling stock there
on. This viii be gladstone news to the
miners Of FED Fluff, many Of whom have
waited eighteen and twenty years for a
ro44i, The building of which will cause the
CANT II ti&e its place among the richest
of gol6-prndlc;ug camps in the United

The Manitoba Right of Way Bill.

It is scarcely possible to over estimate
the benefits which will accure to this ter
ritory by the passage Of the bill granting
the right of way to the Manitoba railway
through the Northern Indian Reserva
ton.
President Cleveland has performed
many acts of an official character since his
Inauguration as president Of the United
States, for which he is to be truly com
mended by every fair-minded citizen, with
out respect to party; not the least, however
in the category is the graceful act of afix-
ing his official signature to the bill above
mentioned.s The result of this wise and
iudicious measure will be the opening up
to settlement of a magnificent country,
hitherto unavailable in consequence Of a
lack of railway facilities; a country rich
not only in agricultural resources, but
more or less Astounding in precious metals.
In addition to the advantages already
mentioned, a competing line is assured for
several important commercial and mining
centers, ami this means lower freights and
cheaper transportation. Montana will
feel this new impulse to her progress and
advancement along every venue of her
being, and with increasing strength and
activity will march forward to that destiny
to which she is entitled by virtue of the
immense natural of untold
wealth, which are locked up in her tower
ing mountaing and fruitful Valleys

FALLS TRIBUNE.
The Northern Pacific Experimenting
With a New Car.

Because of the recent serious and fatal
accidents on the Baltimore s. Ohio, Mill
waukee and St. Paul and Vermont Central,
the officials of the Northern Pacific have
been endeavoring to hit upon some plan
different from that now in vogue for heat
ing and lighting cars. No avenue has been
left untried, and every suggestion which
has been made has been carefully consid-
cred and worked out. None of them,
however, has been found to be practical.
The one idea has been to prevent cars
from taking fire in case they have been de-
rallied and turned over. Failing to find
one feasible plan among the many suggest
ed. Vice-Presendent Cakes and Capt.
Cushing, superintendent Of motive power,
got their heads together. The result was
4 decision to experiment with an iron car,
from which the cars of the train will be
supplied not only with heat, but also with
light and water. Such a car is now IN
process of construction and as soon as Quilt
will be given a practical test. 1t is pro-
posed to have the car next to the engine,
SO that connection, when the engine is cut
off, may not be broken with the rest Of the
train. Whether electricity or gas for
lighting the train will be used is not yet
determined upon. Both Messrs. Cakes
and Cushing are strongly of the opinion
that the experiment will prove a success,
and that hereafter there will be no danger
of a car taking fire in case of an accident.
If the experiments a success the North
ern Pacific will nave accomplished NJ
thing which should make it the most pop
ular transcontinental line in the country.

Passenger Train Chased by Wolves.

It is bad enough for Siberia to have
wolves On the warpath, but a passenger
train Just in from the west has some Won
derful yarns concerning whole regiments
of wicked looking wolves seen these times
along the c. P. r. track. He said that
when nearing Medicine Hat a few days
ago, a band of wolves Of immense size and
to the number of several hundred, were
bowling their dismal bowls a short dis
lance ont Oh the prairie, and were actually
bold enough to make off after the train.
These wolves are coming from the north
ward every day, and are said to be making
toward the ranches. The present winter
has been anything but favorable for these
gentle animals, and this is the cause for
their migration south. Residents out there
will probably boycott the hungry invaders.

Nipped in the Bud.

Sheriff Jones has long been aware that
the county Jail contains some very hard
cases, and it has required his utmost eau
ton to prevent a serious break. On Sat
urday last the Sheriff was called to Black
tail and Deputy Parke went to Argenta,
leaving jailor Rote to look after the flock
behind the bars. At o'clock Mr.. Rote
opened the steel cage and let the prison
ers out into the corridor to eat their dinner.
Sheriff Jones cane into his Office in the
court house a few minutes later, and when
he opened his desk noticed that a A cali
bre pistol which he generally keeps there
was gone, and going into the bedroom he
also missed a Al caliber revolver which he
keeps under his pillow. Both the office
and bedroom door were securely locked
when Mr.. Jones arrived. and it flashed
across his mind in an instant that the trus-
ty Eddie Rockbud had stolen the weapons,
and throwing a couple of buckshot shells
into a shotgun, he ran over to the Jail. He
asked Mr.. Rote about the %reyolvers, but
the latter knew nothing, except that the
boy had cleaned up as usual, and the
sheriff demanded them from the prison
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1887-03-05

ers, who were walking around the cage
taking their exercise, some of them being
u of sight. The officers at once pro-
ceeded to lock up for the purpose OF
searching for the guns, and suddenly Mr..
Jones saw the weapons thrown out the
window, but he could not see by whom
1t was at once c%onjectured that the men
had induced the boy to steal the arms, and
thinking that jailor Rote would be there
alone, they had concluded to hold him up
when he came inside the corridor to lock
the cells for the night, but in this they
were mistaken, as at that time there are
always at least two men in attendance. 1t
took forty-four hours of rigid persuasion
to induce the boy to come out and tell the
whole story.
Eddie Rockbud is about IA or Is years
Of age and has been in this county about
three years. He worked for Sim Estes a
while and that gentleman gives him an
excellent Endorsement. Then he worked
for NJ. B. Henneberry some time and then
worked for Jim Cochran, on the Grass
hopper for a year, quitting last spring.
Since then he has been around Bannack.
Last November he took a contract to fur
nish a Chinaman Of that place 1000 chick
ems at IS cents a piece, and he was indus
triously stealing the fowls when arrested.
His time will be out the first of next week,
but it is probable that he will be charged
with this crime, and a long term in the
penitentiary stares him in the face. He
is regarded as a dangerous lad and his
conduct has clearly demonstrated that he
possesses daring, courage and grit enough
to do almost anything.-DiNon Examiner.
